open auditions - Little Shop of Horrors

Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) will hold open auditions for the Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical Little Shop of Horrors on Saturday, May 14 at 38 Main Street in Franklin. Auditions begin at noon for adults and teens ages 15 and older. Please prepare 16-32 bars of a contemporary musical theater song in the style of the show. For more information, including a character breakdown, please visit www.FPAConline.com.

Part of FPAC’s 25th anniversary season, Little Shop of Horrors will be presented on June 10 and 11 at 7:30p.m. at THE BLACK BOX, FPAC’s home and performance venue in downtown Franklin. With book and lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken, the popular comic rock musical delivers an uproariously good time. With catchy, early Motown-inspired tunes and a wacky tale, Little Shop of Horrors follows a down-and-out skid row floral assistant who becomes an overnight sensation after discovering an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, R and B singing carnivore – ultimately revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination.

Little Shop of Horrors is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). For more information, call (508) 528-3370.
